Ecuadorian-grown roses 3,200 meters above sea level.

presenting roses with altitude

Roses with Altitude, inspired by Jet Fresh Flower Distributors, are premium-cut Ecuadorian roses grown 3,200 meters above sea level on a boutique farm near the Cayambe volcano: Ecuador’s 3rd highest mountain and the coldest place on the equator. RWA comes packed with many benefits including larger heads, longer stems and thicker foliage. The altitude at this impressive height provides our roses with intense lighting which extends the cultivation process while also enhancing the petals of your favorite varieties.

Why HIgh altitude?

Roses With Altitude are bred at much higher altitude than most roses, equipping them with larger heads, longer stems and thicker foliage. The altitude not only greatly improves the rose’s quality and performance, but also extends the cultivation period of these premium roses. “Roses grown at high altitude have a much longer growing cycle than those cultivated at sea level, up to 15 weeks as opposed to eight, so it is perfect for long-stemmed varieties with big heads,” said Ad van Rooijen, research and development manager at the Dutch floriculture multinational De Ruiter.

While most Ecuadorian roses are cultivated at an altitude of between 2,800 and 3,000 meters, Roses With Altitude will have longer production value because of its prime location 3,200 meters high. According to Rooijen, “The real advantage is that you get natural light all year round, so you can grow in winter and don’t have to use a lot of artificial illumination.”

These resilient roses experience intense lighting year-round which greatly enhances the color of the petals. “The cold nights mean that you get a lot of bi-colors, with contrasting hues on the edges and the insides of petals, which are very sought after in certain markets,” said Rooijen.

Volcanic soil

Roses With Altitude grows on virgin black soil that’s native to its area. This soil is enriched with both nitrogen and potassium that help extend the vase-life of the roses.

The soil is capable of maintaining nutrients and humidity because it isn’t sandy, nor does it contain any pebbles or debris. In fact, half of its nutrients come naturally from organic material which significantly reduces the use of chemical fertilizers.
